It was further revealed that the documents had already been sold without government approval.

Addressing the situation at the scene, Governor Nwifuru described the act as sabotage against the government’s efforts to improve the health sector.

“You are selling government documents without approval on a Saturday afternoon,” the Governor remarked.

“Our rural hospitals are requesting registers, data entry forms, and hospital cards. Unfortunately, the materials produced by the government are being sold illegally. This is pure sabotage of our efforts in the health sector and will not be tolerated.”

Meanwhile, the suspects have been handed over to the police for further investigation.
